7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol 122)

I’ve been rather spasmodic with writing 7 Quick Takes, haven’t had a lot to say, however both PC and Anna Maria have been lamenting that I haven’t written, so getting back into the groove for my two loyal fans.

1
Anna Maria will be home from Uni tomorrow!:):) We have been counting down days for a few weeks now.  We really, really can’t wait to see our girl:)  It has been nearly three months since she was last home.

2
My brother Chris has been blessed with his second son.   We are yet to visit, but my, the baby looks gorgeous. We really can’t wait to see our new little nephew/cousin:)

3
Talking babies, Bass is now walking everywhere.  He is extremely steady and very fast.  We are constantly vigilant about doors as he takes off if he spies a chance.

4
Jem makes me laugh in this outfit, he looks like he is ready to take up shearing in his blue singlet and jeans.

5 
Watched Iron Man 2 with PC and Michelangelo last night, I confess ‘Tony Stark’ lost me right at the beginning with his massive ego, the movie really lacked plot.  To be honest I was so bored I fell asleep.

6
It’s my own fault we watched Iron Man as PC had offered to watch a chick flick with me, but I chose Action. A few weeks back we watched the most beautiful chick flick, The Lost Valentine, so romantic, cried the whole way through.  So any good chick flicks to recommend?

7
On the recommendation of our librarian I’ve discovered the Maisie Dobbs novels.  Maisie is a physiologist and investigator, set just after World War 1, much of the background refers to The War and its after affects. Interestingly, although I had studied WW1 in highschool I had assumed shell shock meant post traumatic stress, I hadn’t connected it with brain injury.  Anyhow enjoying the character of Maisie Dobbs.
